DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

National Institutes of Health 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; Investigating the 

Causes of Post Donation Information 

(PDI): Errors in the Donor Screening 

Process 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 

Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute 

(NHLBI), the National Institutes of 

Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) a 

request to review and approve the 

information collection listed below. 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register on February 23, 2010, Volume 

75, No. 35, pages 8080–8081 and 

allowed 60 days for public comment. 

The purpose of this notice is to allow an 

additional 30 days for public comment. 

The National Institutes of Health may 

not conduct or sponsor, and the 

respondent is not required to respond 

to, an information collection that has 

been extended, revised, or implemented 

on or after October 1, 1995, unless it 

displays a current valid OMB control 

number. 

Proposed Collection: Title: 

Investigating the causes of post donation 

information (PDI): Errors in the donor 

screening process. Type of Information 

Collection Request: NEW. Need and Use 

of Information Collection: Blood centers 

are required to use a health history 

screening questionnaire to obtain 

eligibility information for the protection 

of the donor and recipient prior to blood 

donation. However, the health history 

process is known to be error-prone and 

the reasons for those errors are largely 

unknown and untested. Donors often 

fail to report a risk that would have 

resulted in deferral. This deferral risk 

may be disclosed at a subsequent 

donation and is classified as Post 

Donation Information (PDI). While this 

deferral risk may be at the next donation 

event, many examples of PDI are not 

disclosed nor discovered until several 

intervening donation events have 

occurred. The reasons why donors fail 

to disclose a deferrable history at the 

time of one donation but subsequently 

disclose this information at a later time 

are unidentified. This protocol is 

designed to ascertain why PDI error 

events occur. It will be the first study of 

any kind to address the issue of PDI 

errors in any systematic fashion. By 

conducting interviews with donors 

involved in PDI errors, we will gain 

important qualitative knowledge about 

this problem. Information gathered from 

these interviews will not only elucidate 

the issue of PDI but will provide insight 

into donor understanding of the 

screening process and their feelings 

about the process and blood donation in 

general. 

The main objectives of the study are: 

1. To explore reasons behind errors in 

the donor screening process when 

donors initially fail to disclose an 

accurate and complete health history. 

2. To explore PDI donors’ knowledge, 

attitudes, behaviors and beliefs (KABB) 

about the health history questionnaire 

and their experience with the screening 

process and the center. 

3. To compare KABB in PDI donors to 

deferred (but not PDI) donors and 

accepted donors. 

The study sample will consist of three 

groups: 

1. Donors with a PDI: all identified 

donors of interest with an FDA 

reportable donor suitability error 

classified as PDI at the REDS–II centers. 

2. Deferred donors: appropriately 

deferred (but not PDI deferred donors) at 

the REDS–II centers. 

3. Accepted Donors: appropriately 

accepted for donation at the REDS–II 

centers. 

Telephone interviews will be 

conducted with consented donors to 

collect information regarding their 

knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and 

beliefs about the donor health history 

process. Even though the interviews 

with the donors will be individual, we 

would like to form groups of similar PDI 

and deferred donors for analysis 

purposes. 

The five groups of interest include 

PDI occurrences or deferrals that are due 

to: 

• Travel (malaria, vCJD). 

• Medical (history of diseases 

including jaundice/hepatitis, surgery 

and medications needed to treat disease 

including Tegison, Proscar and 

Accutane). 

• Blood/Disease Exposure—(tattoo, 

piercings, accidental needle stick). 

• High Risk Behavior—Sexual (MSM, 

sex with IV drug user or test-positive 

individual). 

• High Risk Behavior—Non-Sexual 

(IV drug use, non-sexual exposure to 

Hepatitis C or Hepatitis B). 

All interviews will be digitallyrecorded and the recordings uploaded 

onto computers as dss files; these files 

will be transcribed and then coupled to 

the interviewer notes to form an analytic 

package for the data analysts. Once the 

interview is conducted successfully, 

each study donor will be mailed a check 

of $25 as an incentive for participating 

in the study. 

The cognitive testing of the interview 

guide will be conducted at the 

Hoxworth Blood Center. For this 

purpose, the blood center staff will 

identify 2 PDI and 2 deferred donors 

from the five broad categories of 

interest. They will also contact 2 

accepted donors for study consent and 

interview. These donors will be 

approached and consented by following 

the same procedures that will be used 

for the actual study. 

The data from the semi-structured 

interviews will be analyzed in two 

ways. The close-ended responses will be 

analyzed quantitatively. This will likely 

take the form of 3-way cross-tabulations 

of frequency distributions in responses 

to key questions. The open-ended 

responses will be analyzed as 

qualitative data. All analytic steps and 

assumptions that led up to the 

conclusions, including competing 

interpretations of the data, will be fully 

discussed in the final report. 

Frequency of Response: Once. 

Affected Public: Individuals. Type of 

Respondents: Adult blood donors. The 

annual reporting burden is a follows: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 408; 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1; Average Burden of 

Hours per Response: 0.08 for the initial 

phone call and 0.5 for responding to the
